Wow, let's hear it for perseverance. Cleveland metal/industrial mavens Mushroomhead just scored their first Top 20 album in their storied 20 year career with their new album released last Tuesday alongside The Black Keys #1 "Turn Blue.". Congrats!

"The Righteous & The Butterfly", the eighth studio album from MUSHROOMHEAD, the influential industrial metal band from Cleveland, Ohio, sold around 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 20 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Ok, so there is plenty of NSFW language in Black Keys drummer Pat Carney's latest assesement of Justin Beiber..Here are some expurgated outtakes from the latest issue of Rolling Stone

On his Twitter battles with Beliebers: ""I just started getting called a fa**ot, you know? All these kids who don't know what they're saying are saying all of these things that are actually wildly inappropriate. And these kids are just dumbasses.

"I mean, Justin Bieber is a (fricking) moron," Carney continues. "And that's the gist of what I was saying. And then he goes and says I should be slapped? Honestly, I feel bad for him. Every single person who works with him should be (frickin') embarrassed that they don't. . . No one is doing him any favors, you know? And honestly, I don't dislike his music. I don't listen to his music, but he needs to not conduct himself that way. Like, really, you make millions of dollars playing music, you should feel fucking lucky."

From the Digital Desk of LiveNation...bummer...Ritchie's one of those artists everyone of a certain age knows, but don't necessarily realize just how much of a pop/soul hitmaker he was until the hits start flowing. I was kinda looking forward to this show.
